since its on disney+.
finished the first ep. i had forgotten how little this had to do with the first movie and was even more of a “what if” comedy than tlk 1/2.
on its own merits its not bad. the art and animation are decent same with writing and voice acting... some of the jokes are clever... its just...
i wish the regular cast from the first movie were more than once in a while glorified cameos. keep it a “what if” spinoff comedy but simba and nala need to be a part of the regular cast. heck, every tlk character needed to be a part of the cast.
wouldnt have made it the tlk tv series i wanted in the 90’s but it would have been so much better.
oh and no human characters. seeing timon and pumbaa interact with humans.... mixing humans with tlk is like mixing daycare centers with boa constrictors. you just dont do it!
